Abstract

The authors present a case report of a nurse who worked from 1993 to 1996 in a Metabolic Radiotherapy Unit. Five years later she developed a SCC tumor on the base of IIIrd finger of right hand. The patient was operated in "Regina Elena Plastic Surgery Unit" of I.C.P. Hospital of Milan. A vein dorsal flap of the hand was performed after a radical excision of the skin tumour and excellent reconstructive and aesthetic results was obtained. The purpose of the present case report was to stimulate generals doctors, dermatologist, and plastic surgeons to carefully evaluate patients with cutaneous tumor, due to contamination of medical radiation dose during and after dispensing of radiopharmaceuticals.
